is there a way to petition to take it for credit? i didn't do any APs so I dont know how it works, is it a grade or just a 'pass' on your transcript?

Anyway, on to my question. I am an incoming freshman at a UC (quarter system), so i'm getting extremely confused about the whole semester/ quarter equality. If i'm correct, in order to fulfill the english requirement, it would be one full year (3 quarters) of english.

I was also on a quarter system, and your read is largely correct. It depends on the schools though, some will require a whole year, at some you can actually get by with less (one year is a good target though).

Unfortunately, when i was looking up my transcript online, it showed me registered for eng001A as "repeat, no credit". Will that look negatively later on?

I don't think it'll be looked down on, per se, but I don't think it helps you to spend time in classes that don't give you credit. I (and most I know) gathered up English credits through a melange of odd classes. I took a writing intensive class Freshman year, a class about feminist authors, one through the classics department, and one on Elizabethan English literature. It was a good sprinkling of humanities throughout my education, and you might try just jumping in to a more specific English class if you tested out of the freshmen classes (which tend to be basic and kind of a hassle).

Also, final question, would ENG001A, 001B, and 001C (Beggining comp, intermediate comp, and applied intermediate comp in quarters) satisfy the english requirement for schools that require at least a year of english?

I'm sure they will, at least many places. I feel like a few of the definitions I saw for English credit also wanted you to take a class where you were reading literature (and graded on things you wrote about it - an English class staple), but I may have just imagined that. Writing is definitely a good thing.

I'm new here at this website, and i've been searching around to get the feel of it. You guys seem wonderful and I can't wait to get more familiar.

I assure you, we are wonderful.
